What Is Gazpacho?

Gazpacho is a classic cold Spanish soup, perfect for sweltering summer days. It’s traditionally made with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and garlic. For this version, we are including even more fresh garden vegetables and spicing up the soup with some Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. Make sure you use only the best, freshest ingredients for this soup. For a California spin, top the soup with some chopped avocado, and serve it with crusty bread.

More Types of Gazpacho

Gazpachos are made in a variety of delicious ways. Often they’re tomato-forward, such as in this recipe, but sometimes tomatoes share center stage with other fresh ingredients, like watermelon. Some gazpachos aren’t made with any tomatoes at all, such as white gazpacho, a chilled soup made with bread, blanched almonds, green grapes, cucumbers, olive oil, and garlic.

Many thanks to my dear friend Marjorie for passing along this recipe, adapted from her Delicious Decisions Junior League of San Diego cookbook. Place in a non-reactive container (tomatoes are acidic) to store. Chill several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
